did not answer washington dc

Told me I'd been awarded a $9000 Federal grant because I was a good citizen. I asked her to send the info to my address they obviously would have on file and she promptly hung up.

Our government can be so rude!

"Jeffrey" (Indian accent) told me he was calling from the US Federal Govt, and that I had won a $9000 grant from the govt. He told me THREE times that I did not have to pay it back, told me Congratulations, and then asked if I was wondering how I had been chosen for this grant? I said No, not really, he said Excuse me? I said, No, not really. He muttered something and hung up on me. Did the govt not really want to give me $9000? I'm shocked.

I did not answer. Assumed it was a scam.  No voice mail message.

Received call from Washington DC. Stated that she was calling from the U.S. Federal Grant Dept. and that I had been selected to receive a $9,000 grant, which did not have to be repaid. I said, "GREAT! How did you get my information?"

She hung up.
